Planting & Care

Sow carnation seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and barely cover, as light aids germination. Keep the growing medium consistently moist at around 65–70°F. Once seedlings have several true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, harden them off and transplant to a sunny garden location with well-drained soil.

Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overhead watering to help prevent foliar issues. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. In colder zones, provide winter protection or grow as annuals.
